Supply and Demand
 
The market remains in a relative stasis in terms of sales to inventory and prices have been relatively stable for a few weeks.  However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI.  If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Price While the median price in  Northwest Seattle hasn’t moved much in the last few weeks, we are relatively close to the market’s high-water mark.  Watch for persistent downward shift in the Market Action Index into the Buyer’s zone as a leading indicator of the price strength subsiding.

Hi there Adrian - the Northwest corner of Seattle with fabulous views of the Sound and Olympic mountains will likely remain somewhat stable. Can't imagine those great vistas ever going out of favor with buyers. However, you are the market expert and can best explain what these changes in numbers mean for buyers and sellers. Have a great weekend in Seattle, Adrian.
